Hi to everyone,
I'm experiencing a strange behaviour of named mutex on
a windows 2008 machine.
symptoms: when the system event log is empty, creation
of named mutex fails with a boost::interprocess::interprocess:exception
with msg boost::interprocess_exception::library_error.
Now some data:
1) Boost 1.57.0 + stlport 5.2
2) VS 2005
3) Target Environment: Win 2008/32
3) after a night of code digging I managed to crete a small sample
which raises the exception:
#include
#include
#include
#include <iostream>
typedef boost::shared_ptrboost::interprocess::named_mutex safe_ipc_mx;
static safe_ipc_mx __mx;
int main(void) {
system("pause");
try {
__mx = safe_ipc_mx(new boost::interprocess::named_mutex(boost::interprocess::open_or_create_t(),"JAEGER"));
std::cout << std::endl << "Mutex created !" << std::endl;
} catch(boost::interprocess::interprocess_exception const& e) {
std::cout << std::endl << "Mutex creation error " << e.what() << " /" << e.get_error_code() << " /" << e.get_native_error();
}
system("pause");
return 0;
}
as far as I digged, it seems that the trouble is in the winapi::get_last_bootup_time(stamp) call
in shared_dir_helpers.hpp, but up to now I had not been able to reproduce it on a machine with
all the debugging tools installed
does anyone have a clue on what I am doing wrong ?
thanks in advance
Lorenzo
